Speaking of Mastodon, there was a barge named “Mastodon” that, prior to The Huey P Long Bridge, ferried railroad cars from Avondale on the West Bank to Harahan on the East Bank. #NOLA #Louisiana #USA #Earth #ThirdRock.
@Lowie @PandaChronicle Wordpress is joining the Fediverse. That may have something to do with the numbers, but they've been going up consistently for quite a while now.
And Eugene is getting married, so maybe this is just well-wishers. 💝

happy #caturday and 3rd #adoptaversary #gotchaday to this fuzzy orange monster.
This afternoon’s patrol has taken us beyond our borders and to The Forsaken Land of the Dead Leaves. While I know that Beto’s nose and instincts must take him wherever they lead, and while I would bravely follow him into the murkiest, most deadly alligator-infested waters… I’m wearing flip-flops and I don’t wanna get bitten by a snake today 😰
@doctorjaymarie oh, that's a great point. I'm personally guilty of thinking we'd turned a corner by having Obama at the helm for two terms. I severely misjudged how great the blowback and whitewashing would be.

How can we guard against this kind of recoil and retaliation next time? We need to change the cycle!

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
